The Serbian Spruce is one of the most beautiful ornamental spruces. The Serbian features short, dark green, flat needles (similar to a hemlock) with a breeze revealing silver undersides. The Serbian features beautiful purple cones and a visually pleasing conical shape. Serbian Spruce are fast-growing, do well in full sun, and reach a height of up to 60 feet with a spread of 20 feet or more at the base. The Serbian Spruce can also be used as a Christmas Tree. They should not be planted out in the open where winter wind can dry them out. Serbian Spruce prefer richer soils, but they have also done well in sandier soils and can resist drought.
